Destiny 2 Honeydew and Other Errors Trigger Emergency Maintenance

The highly anticipated launch of Destiny 2’s Season of the Splicer has faced some unexpected hurdles. Bungie initially took the game offline for background maintenance earlier today. At 10 AM PT, the bulk of the maintenance was completed, and players were able to download the season’s update on both PC and consoles. However, connectivity issues, including the notorious Honeydew error, have since caused Bungie to take the servers offline for emergency maintenance.

Update: Destiny 2 is now back online following emergency maintenance.

Destiny 2 Down for Server Maintenance

Bungie Help’s official Twitter account reported that various errors were preventing players from connecting to Destiny 2, including Honeydew errors. After several updates throughout the day, it became clear that the issues required further fixes. As a result, the game has been taken offline while the developers continue to work on solutions.

While inconvenient, unexpected server downtimes are common during the release of new seasons. With the release of new content, Destiny 2 typically experiences a massive influx of players, and the number of players attempting to access the game surged over 100% on Steam alone today.
